Gu Yanwei looked at the woman who left in a rage as if she was trying to hide something, and his eyes actually lit up with joy.
It was really like a ray of hope after a dark cloud. His unintentional behavior actually tested Qiu'er's true feelings for him. Gu Yanwei thought of her expression just now, and he was naturally happy and distressed. For a moment, he couldn't help but stay there and smile foolishly.
"Ninth brother, are you satisfied now?" It was Gu Tang who appeared from the side.
He shook his head, "I've said it before, Qingqiu has feelings for you, but you just don't believe it and have to do this." Now it has been proven that there are feelings, but it is obvious that Shen Qingqiu is also hurt. Gu Yanwei was also distressed, so he also bowed to Gu Tang, "No matter what, thank you, big brother."
Wang Qingluo also came out with a guilty look on her face, "We did something like this and made Qiu'er so sad. If she knew about this, she would definitely blame us."
Gu Tang held his wife's hand, "We have no right to interfere. It is a matter between them anyway." Gu Tang looked up at Gu Yanwei, "After all, I was once the crown prince. I have been here several times. Some people in the officialdom have seen my face. It is not appropriate for me to stay here for long."
"nature."
Gu Yanwei did not keep them and ordered someone to send a carriage to take them away.
He went to look for Shen Qingqiu again, but found that Shen Qingqiu was packing things in the room. Gu Yanwei was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing?"
"Can't you see it?" Shen Qingqiu didn't have a good look on his face. "If you like to stay here, stay. I want to go find my dad." Shen Qingqiu picked up his bag and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Gu Yanwei.
"My father-in-law is in the Xiongnu now. You are going to look for him alone. Do you want to die?"
She didn't want to stay here even if she had to risk her life. Shen Qingqiu took her bag and said, "My father is fighting for his life, why should I hide behind him?" She just felt unhappy and wanted to kill a few people on the battlefield to cheer herself up. But she was pulled back by Gu Yanwei as soon as she took a step.
"Qingqiu, Chen Yuqing is not my childhood sweetheart." Gu Yanwei suddenly spoke.
"What?" Shen Qingqiu was stunned.
"I said Chen Yuqing, she's not my childhood sweetheart." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Shen Qingqiu again, "She never had any friendship with me back then. She's just a friend I asked to help."
Shen Qingqiu asked: "Help?"
She thought of Zhao Shiqing. Shen Qingqiu was not stupid, so he quickly thought of what happened today... Since Zhao Shiqing was his way of testing her, then Lin Yuqing was also...
"What's wrong with you?!" At that moment, Shen Qingqiu herself didn't know whether she was more relieved or angry.
"Get out of my way!" she shouted.
But Gu Yanwei refused to give in. "If I give in, where will you go?" He said, "Qingqiu, don't you really understand my feelings?"
Shen Qingqiu sighed, and looking at the stubborn face of the person in front of her, she finally softened her heart.
"Gu Yanwei, you and I both know our identities. I have always felt that it is good enough for us to be a couple who respect each other. At least I will not have any hatred or jealousy in my heart... But you also know me. I have always been a narrow-minded person." She looked at Gu Yanwei: "If I really put you at the top of my heart, then if you do anything to let me down——"
"Then kill me." Gu Yanwei said.
"You can kill me, I will never resist." He took Shen Qingqiu's wrist, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently, "Qiu'er, I only hope to be able to communicate with you. Other than that, I am not afraid of anything."
He had lived for more than 20 years, and was seriously ill in the first half. He wanted nothing and had no interest in anything, but fate made him meet her. Now he had what he wanted and the person he wanted.
“Okay.” Shen Qingqiu smiled. She had never been a shy person. Now that it had come to this, she was not afraid of anything. “If you really feel sorry for me, then let’s die together.” Who cares what the government situation was like, or what the people were like?
Gu Yanwei's smile became brighter when he heard these words, "Qiu'er..."
He picked her up, Shen Qingqiu hesitated for a moment, and finally leaned softly in his arms. Thinking of something again, she suddenly pushed her away.
Originally, Gu Yanwei had the delicate body in his arms with his eyes closed. Her sudden movement made his arms feel empty, and he frowned with some dissatisfaction.
"There is nothing going on between Lin Xuanfeng and me. I don't care what you did in the past. Master Lin is my teacher. We both have the same integrity. You are not allowed to cause trouble for him."
Gu Yanwei touched her nose in dissatisfaction and said, "You are still thinking about another man while you are in my arms, and you asked me not to cause trouble for him..." She really doesn't understand men.
But seeing that Shen Qingqiu's brows were already raised, Gu Yanwei hurriedly said: "I just didn't understand your feelings before, and I definitely won't do that next time. Qiu'er, don't worry!" Shen Qingqiu's expression returned to normal.
Gu Yanwei tried again: "Then can I continue to hold you?" They had been married for a long time, but now his son and his wife were like a newlywed couple testing each other.
Shen Qingqiu also blushed, but nodded, "Hold me."
The couple in the house were affectionate, while outside Cheng Futai was anxious to flatter the dragon.
Although Chen Yuqing was a babysitter hired by Gu Tang, she was sent away not long after. But when Cheng Futai saw Gu Tang and Wang Qingluo's sedan chair and heard the servants say that these two were Shen Qingqiu's relatives, he had an idea in his mind - he remembered that the emperor, as the ninth prince, was not favored in the palace.
He remembered that there was once a nanny by his side who was punished and sent out by the then Empress Pei on some pretext.
Even if she didn't remember the nanny from those days, she should still have some feelings for her when she thought about what happened in the past... Thinking of this, Cheng Futai clapped his hands and did it immediately.
——
In the mansion of the prefect, dark yellow lanterns were hung all over.
At night, many magicians were invited to perform in the mansion. The housekeeper of the Cheng family served on the side and said, "It is not appropriate for the two of you to show up on the street all the time, so our master invited the best magicians on the street."
There are not many things like this in the 21st century, and Shen Qingqiu is not a person who likes to go to the circus, so his son is watching it with great interest. Seeing this, Gu Yanwei also nodded, "Not bad..." He looked around again, "Why don't you see your parents?"
Ever since coming here, Cheng Futai has been following him like a follower.
Gu Yanwei knew it very well. The people under him were afraid that he would be displeased, and they also wanted to please him. Before, Cheng Futai followed him too closely, and he felt a little annoyed. But today, when he didn't see Cheng Futai, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"My master said he has something to present to the emperor..." the butler said, pointing to the road on the side, "Your Majesty, please come here."
Shen Qingqiu, whose attention had been on the magic trick, shifted his gaze over and looked at Gu Yanwei with a half-smile.
Gu Yanwei naturally remembered that Cheng Futai had wanted to send him women two or three times before, and he felt particularly unhappy for a moment. He had just coaxed Shen Qingqiu into submission, so how could this Cheng guy be so ignorant of other people's expressions!
As the saying goes, if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. There are very few absolutely loyal officials in the officialdom.
For example, Cheng Futai was flexible and although he was not absolutely incorruptible, under his rule, the South was thriving. Therefore, even if he had some minor problems, Gu Yanwei would not touch him. But this time, he was blind and insisted on running into his gun.
Even if you don't die, you will be skinned alive.
Gu Yanwei thought in his heart, looked at Shen Qingqiu and said: "Qiu'er, why don't you come with me?"
Shen Qingqiu said: "Since it is something given to you by the governor, how can I go with you to see it?"
Gu Yanwei was most familiar with her, and knew that although she did not look angry, she must be unhappy at the moment, so he reached out and hooked her hand, "You and I are husband and wife, and what is given to me is for you." Shen Qingqiu was satisfied with this, and gave him a glare, and the two of them went in the direction the housekeeper pointed.
It was already night, and the candlelight was not very big. The two of them were accompanied by a maid holding a lantern.
When they arrived at the house in front of them, the maids on both sides retreated.
Shen Qingqiu looked up at the house in front of him, which was simple and solemn. "This doesn't look like a yard that young girls like to live in." When Cheng Futai gave Hongxiutianxiang away before, he gave her a delicate and bright beauty. Why is it strange this time? He actually changed the style.
Gu Yanwei shook his head and went forward to push the door.
At this time, the woman in the room turned her head. She was not a delicate beauty, but a woman who was almost fifty years old. She only wore a plain hairpin on her head and a string of Buddhist beads on her wrist. She looked easy to get along with.
The woman was stunned for a moment when she saw the two people pushing the door open, and then she looked at Gu Yanwei excitedly, "Your Highness, I never thought that I would have the chance to see you again in this life!"
Gu Yanwei was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked over, "Madam Kong, are you Madam Kong?"
Madam Kong was so excited that she was already crying. She walked over and was about to kneel down before Gu Yanwei, "This servant greets His Highness—" Before she could kneel down, she was helped up by Gu Yanwei, "Madam, please get up. If it weren't for you in the palace, I wouldn't have survived safely."
Gu Yanwei's biological mother died young. The only thing that allowed him to survive in that cannibalistic harem was his own life and the nanny who had taken care of him since he was a child.
He had always treated this nanny as a relative and had originally planned to take her back to Beijing to live out her retirement life after the political situation was stabilized. However, he had not expected that Cheng Futai would have the ability to bring her here directly.
When Nanny Kong saw Gu Yanwei, she burst into tears.
Shen Qingqiu was a little embarrassed when he saw the scene in front of him. He thought he was going to send off a beauty... but he didn't expect it to be a family reunion... If she was here, it would be bad. After thinking about it, Shen Qingqiu quietly withdrew. The two hadn't seen each other for many years, so they should have a lot to say.
When he went out, he gently closed the door for the two of them.
